SCIENTIFIC HoAxEs.
How the Credulous Public Was victimixet
by Missouri Charlatau.

How the Credulous Public Was victimixed
by Missouri Charlatan.
The great lesson which Cuvier taught
the world was that many races of ami
mails were entirely extinct, and that
natures chain Of existence had not one
but many missing links. From his
recognition of that fact the science Of
paleontology may be said to date. But
the carnivorous nature of the mastodon
was too fascinating an absurdity to be
so easily killed, and it continued to APP
pear at intervals. AS late as 1885 we
find New England medical professor
writing as if it were an unquestionable
fact. The giant theory fingered still
longer, and even yet can not be consid-
cred entirely extinct among the I'M
learned. The dictum that the supersti-
tons of one age are but the science of
preceding ages receives ample confrma-
ton in the history of this subject. Not
longer ago than 1916 mastodon skelc-
ton was exhibited in New Orleans as
that of giant. The Uranium was made
OF raw hide, fantastic wooden teeth
were fitted in the jaws, all missing parts
were restored after the human model,
and the whole raised upon the hind legs.
1t certainly conveyed the notion of "a
hideous, diabolical giant" and was no
doubt responsible for many nightmares.
AS sad commentary on the state Of
the medical profession in the Southwest
at that time, it may be added that the
exhibitor was perfectly honest in his
belief, and to support his faith he had
trunk full of physicians certificates
that these were human bones.
In 1910 "Dr." Koch, German char
latan, created great sensation by an
nouncing the discovery of the leviathan
of Job, which he called the Missourium,
from the State where it was found. II
turned out, however, to be nothing but a
mastodon preposterously mounted Koch
had added an extra dozen or more joints
to the backbone and ribs to the chest,
turned the tusks outward into a semi
circle, and converted the animal into an
aquatic monster which anchored itself
to trees by means of its sickle-shaped
tusks and then peacefully slumbered
on the bosom of the waves. Like the
Sberians, he found interesting con.
firmations of his views in his book OF
Job, that refuge of perplexed monster
makers. Koch took his leviathan to
London, where it was purchased by the
British museum and reconverted into a
mastodon by Prof Owen, who at once
recognized its true nature. -Scribner' s

PAPER BOX MAKING.

Invention of . Machine Which EnableA
sixteen Girls to Do the Work of Thirty.
An art that has been slow to undergo
the transition from handicraft to ma
chine processes is that OF making paper
boxes. Until quite recently all the
work of making the exhaustless variety
of boxes used in the dry goods, station.
cry and other trades has been done by
hand, except the cutting out of the
parts. The labor has been performed
by girls, who by long practice have be-
come able to put together and cover
several hundred boxes day each. The
board of which the box is made is first
cut and creased so that the edges fold
up to form the sides and ends. A strip
of glued paper is then put around, hold
ing the sides and ends firmly together
at the corners. This work is called
setting up. Next the box is covered
with whatever is to form the surface.
as glazed or ornamental paper or printed
labels. If the box is to have cover. the
hinge is made by apiece of strong cloth
pasted to box and cover, and the surface
paper is pasted over the cloth. The
most difficult part of the art to learn is
that of dipping" as the work of ap-
plying the glue is called. With broad
brush glue is spread on zinc surface,
and the box-maker, with few dexter
Gus motions, dips the strip or label into
it in such a way that the surface is
evenly covered.
An invention lately perfected and in
successful operation seems to be just
the machine that job shops have waited
for. The parts having been cut out by
the same tools that are used in the hand
process, CLUES on one side and delivers
together, Oil one broad belt, all the
parts for completely covering box
to-wit. the box strips. labels. top papers
and trimmings. A machine can be
made large enough to keep ten girls
busy FASTING the strips and finishing
the boxes. The peculiar feature OF this
machine is the feeding arrangement,
which automatically feeds the strips or
labels, one at time, at regular inter-
walls. This invention saves thirty to
fiftv per cent. in the cost of boxes. Six
teen girls will do the work of thirty.
and make better wages per individual.
1t favors minuter subdivision of work,
which conduces to expertness. One
girl, for example, applying herself ex.
clusively to "setting up" the strip;
being delivered to her hand already
glued, soon becomes able to set up 4,5OC
boxes day.-Pdper World.

WEEKDAY LECTURES.
Popular Assemblages Whose Monoto

y
Was Relieved by Executions of All Sorts.
From DR.. Eggleston's article in the Cent
sry, we quote the following account Of
the weekday lecture" now passed
away: 1.-THE New England reverence for
the Sabbath tends to repress social en-
joyment In the accidentsi encounters OF
Sunday, but the weekday lecture suffered
from no such restriction, aud was for
long time much more in faver than even
the Sunday service. From all the country
round, in spite Of the poverty and diff cult
conditions of pioneer life, people f1ocked
to these weekday assemblages. Cotton's
lecture in Boston was so attractive that it
was found convenient to establish mark.
ct on the same day; punishments
In the stocks in the pillory, at
the whipping post or on the
Rallows, were generally set down for
lecture-time, perhaps in order that as
large number Of people as possible
might be edited by the sight of sinner
brought to just retribution. Nor did
these exhibitions Of flogging, of cutting
off ears, and Of men sitting in the stocks,
or dangling from the gallows, tend to d.
minish the attendance. At one period

lecture-day passed for number Of weeks
without the congregation being RECALLED
with the sight Of the execution of one or
more Indians. When heretical or sedi-
tious books were condemned, it was de-
creed that they should be solemnly burned
Just after lecture Elections were ap-
pointed for the same time at first, and the
early popularity of the Thursday lectures
in Boston and Ipswich fixed the annual
Thanksgiving festival on that day of the
week. The largeness Of the assemblies
at lecture-time gave some uneasiness to
the magistrates in the first years of the
colony; they were concerned to see
people who could i'll spare the time,
going to three or four lectu res
in different places during the anne week.
They saw that young people made attend
ance on lectures pretext for emf Dying
themselves, and they had reasonable
fear that the hospitality exercised on such
occasions might become burdensome. AS
early as 1888 the magistrates interfered to
ok the hour at one o'clock or later, that
the people might take their midday meal
at home. The next year they persuaded
the ministers about Boston to arrange
their lectures in alternate weeks, that
four contiguous towns might afford but
two lectures week. In 1889 the rules
again sought to regulate the hour of
lecture, but this brought the clergy on
their backs, and the next year all restric-
tons were repealed, and the weekday
lecture long remained time of common
assemblage, Of business convenience, Of
hospitality and Of great social enjoy
ment."

Keeping Farm Accounts.

Few farmers make it a rule to keep
an accurate account of their expendi-
lures and receipts as they should, in
order to determine what branches of
their business pay them a profit, and
which are conducted at loss. When
it is possible to tell just what it has
cost to raise certain crop, then it can
be seen whether it was profitable, and
if not, just what the loss has been and
whether this can be changed to a
profit by different management the
next year. 1t may be that while as a
whole the farm has paid a fair profit,
this is less than it would have been had
some crop been omitted altogether, be-
cause it has been raised at a loss and
thereby reduced the profit made on
some other. 1t is only by street sys-
TEN of keeping accounts that this can
be determined. 1t is important that a
farmer should know all the details Of
his business in the matter of cost and
returns, Just as it is that the merchant
or manufacturer should. National
